Two of the most incendiary forces in modern hardcore collide on this explosive split 7" from Portland's DRY SOCKET and Tijuana, Mexico's VIOLENCIA. Pressed by To Live A Lie Records, this release is a relentless showcase of politically charged, high-speed aggression from two bands at the top of their game.
DRY SOCKET delivers razor-sharp, blast-laden hardcore with a distinctly Pacific Northwest edge-chaotic, angular, and unrelenting. Following their acclaimed LP Sorry For Your Loss, their side of the split continues their mission of sonic devastation and social critique.
VIOLENCIA, known for their bilingual lyrics and fierce DIY ethic, bring a raw, crust-infused powerviolence assault that's as urgent as it is uncompromising. Their contribution to this split builds on the momentum of their crushing LP Viviendo Tiempos Aún Más Oscuros, a record that cemented their place in the international hardcore underground. Expect fastcore fury, searing vocals, and a relentless pace that leaves no room for compromise.
This split is a must-have for fans of SPAZZ, INFEST, PUNCH, and DESPISE YOU - short, fast, and loud with no filler. Second pressing, foldover covers, limited to 300 copies on mixed vinyl, 100 opaque red (THIS) , 100 opaque lavender (DS UK tour exclusive). Note: first press had a red colorway but in our boxes of 400 mixed vinyl there was a clear 100 of red. These are distinct in the fact they have foldover covers. We don't normally like to have a similar color as a previous pressing but this just happened here and is so distinctly not mixed looking.
